CITIC Securities says it maintains an AI + energy/chemicals allocation and advises prioritizing the value created by pullbacks in new energy, chemicals, nonferrous metals and power equipment, while overweighting low‑valuation brokerages and insurers.

For traditional cyclicals, it advises concentrating on products with genuine systemic capacity clearance or absolute supply constraints, such as polyester, spandex, phosphorus chemicals, MDI, dyes, glyphosate, rubber and refrigerants.
